There have been considerably more new releases since then, but the
current uscan configuration doesn't pick them up, and as of 26.27.3
there are no more dist tarball uploads: the only source artifacts that
are released are the upstream git repo, and the tarball autogenerated by
Gitlab (which should be functionally equivalent).
gnome-control-center and gnome-initial-setup currently have patches
applied to revert dependencies on the new accountsservice, which could
be removed if the new release is packaged.
I've been doing intermittent team uploads on accountsservice to fix RC
bugs and other obvious packaging issues, but I'd prefer not to be
responsible for new upstream releases, sorry - I think this
security-sensitive package deserves more attention than I can provide.
